Ingredients

For the pinwheels

4 fillets salmon fillets, skinless Choose evenly thick fillets for better cooking.
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped Fresh spinach may be used instead of frozen.
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled Feta adds a tangy flavor; other cheeses can be substituted but may change texture.
1 tablespoon olive oil For drizzling over the pinwheels.
1 teaspoon salt Adjust according to taste.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper Freshly ground for better flavor.

For serving

1 bunch asparagus Roasted asparagus pairs well with the dish.
1 pound baby potatoes These can be boiled or roasted.
1 cup cucumber, sliced A crisp cucumber salad provides a nice contrast.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Rinse and pat dry the salmon fillets.
In a bowl, mix the chopped spinach, crumbled feta, salt, and pepper.

Assembly

Lay a salmon fillet flat on a clean surface, skin side down.
Spread an even layer of the spinach and feta mixture over the salmon.
Carefully roll the salmon fillet to form a pinwheel.
Repeat with the remaining fillets.

Cooking

Place the pinwheels in a greased baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through (internal temperature should be 145°F/63°C).

Serving

Serve the salmon pinwheels warm alongside roasted asparagus and baby potatoes.

Notes

Spinach and feta provide a complementary flavor pairing. Pay attention to the thickness of the salmon for even cooking. Ensure the filling is not too watery to maintain the pinwheel shape.
